More C4D Car Battle Tests

Here is the last week of Car Battle test renders. The one above is our first official Car Battle with a real winner. The winner wasn’t chosen at the beginning. Only after the scene was baked out did we know who would be the last car still on his feet. All the cars are driven purely by dynamic motors and a ton of Xpresso that adds logic to the cars so that they don’t get stuck. The next step is to make different style cars that have different drive properties and have them battle out. I really want to give each car a number and name on their materials as well. We hope to have some tutorials on this coming soon as well. In the mean time, hope they are at least fun to watch.

Wonderfull.
You’re a monster of C4D and Dynamics.
By the way……. Have you ever heard of Newton’s Cradle?
I’ve been trying make it with C4D and Dynamics, and it’s been impsoble for me make it works properly. I’m near of the success, but it’s not completly perfect.
What if you make a toutorial about this?…. Just in case that you success the challenge 😉

Im really gona have to get into Xpresso. Im sure we can all make a simple car and motor by now there’s loads of tuts out there but to get them to know if there stuck and kick into reverse. Thats cleaver, and thats beyond me.
Anyway these are great, and are also a reminder of why I fell in love with C4D. Its kinda like advanced lego, and I get to play with toy cars again.

too much fun!!! I tried building loop de loop crash…simple rig on the car, just a base and connectors for the wheels…I can’t figure out how you guys did the multicars? i’ve tried different triggers, cloners, etc…I’m guessing it’s all in XPresso…best site ever!!!! THANKS

Hey i love the idea of this carbattle arena … how about a little competition who can create the funniest and best looking arena? I think greyscalegorilla should do more competition stuff because you have a really creative and great fanbase. I would love to see some competitions ;D

Hmm… This is so familiar,
I’ve watched a Cineversity a year ago or more – that was Live streamed. And they showed how to do the rolller coaster and the camera follower etc. Very easy indeed. Can’t remember the link

Hey Nick, I tried to rebuild this and i made a track and everything but i can’t get my car to work on the track. it just falls straight through. I have a collider body on the track and everything. Do you know what’s wrong?

You guys at Greyscale Gorilla have really helped me jump into 3D animation after being afraid of it for so many years. I keep coming back to this test and hope for a tutorial addressing the rigging of the coaster scene. Im sure Im not alone in this! 😀

Hey, just to say many thanks for all the work you put, sharing your knowledge with the community. You and your pals are a reference in cinema and most important, in the way you are with what you do, fun and educational. Don’t mind the people telling you that you have too much time in your hands. That`s the life, men, doing what you want and with passion. I wish i have all the time possible to try different aproaches, learn new stuff and go after my own dreams. Cheers from Chile, keep on rockin. Also, lovely sound fx. Un abrazo
